Infineon Technologies, a global leader in semiconductor solutions, has partnered with India’s Continental Device India Ltd (CDIL) to explore opportunities in light electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage solutions. This collaboration aligns with India’s growing demand for clean energy and its push for semiconductor self-reliance.

Strengthening India’s Semiconductor Industry

With India positioning itself as a global technology and manufacturing hub, this partnership is expected to drive local semiconductor production. The government’s recent push for a self-sufficient semiconductor ecosystem, backed by a $10 billion incentive scheme, creates a strong foundation for companies like Infineon and CDIL to expand their footprint in the country.

India’s semiconductor market is projected to reach $64 billion by 2026.
The country aims to have over 10 million EVs on the road by 2030, requiring efficient power electronics and battery solutions.
Localizing semiconductor production will reduce India’s dependence on imports and strengthen its supply chain.

Advancing EV and Energy Storage Technologies

Infineon’s expertise in power semiconductors and CDIL’s strong presence in India’s electronics industry make them a strategic match. The collaboration focuses on:

Developing advanced semiconductor solutions tailored for EVs and energy storage.
Enhancing battery efficiency to support India’s renewable energy transition.
Improving power electronics for faster, more efficient EV charging infrastructure.

Future Impact and Market Growth

By leveraging Infineon’s global experience and CDIL’s local capabilities, this partnership will accelerate technological advancements in India's EV and energy storage markets. This move also aligns with India’s long-term sustainability goals, reducing carbon emissions and enhancing grid stability through smarter energy solutions.
